I have decided to accept a long-standing offer from my friend James Joyner to start blogging regularly at his site, Outside the Beltway.  This does not mean that I am closing down this site.  However, I have agreed to shift my blogging on US politics and other general interest politics blogging to OTB.  All such blogging will be linked here, so if you are a regular reader, all you will need to do is click through to read what would have otherwise been posted here.

Some blogging will remain here exclusively:  most of my Colombia and Latin America-related blogging, for example.

I have decided to accept the offer for a variety of reasons, not the least of which simply being his traffic level is substantially higher than mine and the move will allow my blogging to be read my a much wider audience.  In general, James is trying to maintain a reasonable, sane approach to political commentary from a roughly center-right perspective (or what he referred to as the “classical liberal” swath of our politics these days, such as it is).  I find this to be a worthwhile goal.  Too much of higher-traffic blogging these days is anything but reasonable or sane.

We’ll see how it goes and I hope that the move isn’t too disruptive to my regular readers.
